Fatal Error

oy! I upgraded wordpress to most current version, and upgraded event espresso to current version. I did back up everything before I upgraded. after the upgrade, everything seemed fine except that the calendar was not showing on the calendar page. After reading the forums about this problem, I saw that most of the plug-ins were a few versions behind, so I began to update those. Stupidly – I was quickly going through the list and hitting the “update auto” buttons. suddenly got the following error:

Fatal error: Class ‘Genesis_Admin_Basic’ not found in /home/betalefo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/genesis-simple-sidebars/includes/admin.php on line 14

and now I seem to be totally locked out of the back-end. The site itself is still up – but when I try to log in as admin, I get a white page with the fatal error message.

I am assuming that this is not in the realm of ee – but if anyone could point me in the right direction, I would so appreciate it.

the site is betalef.org

Hi Elixabeth,

Yep this is not anything to do with EE, but I know how you can sort it.

You will need FTP access, via a program like Filezilla – your host should have provided FTP details.

Log in via FTP and navigate to wp-content/plugins. Find the folder called genesis-simple-sidebars and rename it (I usually add something to the beginning of the name).

Once that is done go back to your WordPress site and reload the admin. It should force WordPress to deactivate the plugin as the name doesnt match and thus get rid of the error.
